Answer 2

We can write as 6:2 or simplified as 3:1

Explanation:

Ratio means writing in a fractional form where two things have a relationship.

Like here, it is given - for every 6 cups of flour in a bread recipe there are two cups of milk

There is a relation between the number of cups of flour and the number of cups of milk.

So, in ratio form we can write this as 6:2 or
`(6)/(2)`

We can simplify also to 3:1 or
`(3)/(1)`
